Laurel and Hardy ("Helan og Halvan” in Norway) are one of the best-known comedy teams in cinema history, and began making films during the silent era. This program contains four of their best and funniest shorts: Putting Pants on Philip, From Soup to Nuts, Wrong Again, and The Battle of the Century…which ends with one of the biggest pie fights ever filmed! This showing will mark the Scandinavian premiere of the new Lobster Films restoration of The Battle of the Century, which includes footage that had been lost for decades.

The live score is performed by New York based pianist and silent film connoisseur Ben Model, resident pianist at the Museum of Modern art (MoMA) in New York and the Library of Congress (Washington D.C.). He also produces and distributes new releases of classics from the silent film era through his company Undercrank Productions.
